The war morale on the hillside increased greatly. Unexpectedly, they found that the battle in the dark night did not seem to be as difficult as imagined. Because Warthog Orcs was tall, they were also affected by the night. They did not know how many human reinforcements were coming down the mountain.
When the Dawn moment arrived, except for the corpses on the ground, everyone's faces were filled with the joy of victory.
"I am Mr. Baron Moore's Knight Commander Wellen. You are..."
A tall knight came out. The armor on his body was stained with a lot of blood, and some pieces of meat could be seen hanging on it. The armor had dents and cracks. The power of Warthog Orcs also caused the knight to suffer serious injuries.
Two people from the reinforcements also came out, and one of them had a frustrated voice.
"Empire, Legion of Light Judgment, Lord Baron Ryan, Centurion, Quinn."
It's not that he is born cold, but that the time from an illiterate commoner to today is too short, and his cognitive reserve can only allow him to introduce himself concisely like this.
The person next to him is much more fluent.
"Imperial Light Judgment Legion, Commander Baron Ryan Lord Knight Retainer, Legion Centurion Colin."
"Moore Territory Welcome everyone."
Baron Moore is a middle-aged man with a big belly. When he saw the reinforcements arriving, his eyes almost laughed out of sight, and his whole body relaxed visibly.
A large amount of exquisite food was served. The two hundred soldiers from Northwind Province had never eaten such food, and their eyes were bright.
"I'm sorry, Master Baron. Commander Baron Ryan has an order. We cannot eat these foods."
Colin refused. Quinn next to him swallowed his saliva but held back and did not speak.
It's not that they are not allowed to eat, but suddenly eating these over-nutritional things will upset the stomach, destroy the balance of the body, and seriously affect the combat effectiveness.
"It's just a meal, no big deal, right?"
Baron Moore was a little dissatisfied. These mud-legged soldiers actually rejected his kindness.
This is rejecting a nobleman.
"I'm sorry, Baron-sama, this is the commander's order."
After Colin finished speaking, he looked at the soldiers behind him and continued:
"It's enough to ask Lord Baron to give us normal enough food. We also need a camp, and we also need a reserve of weapons and equipment, Lord Baron."
"Warthog Orcs's attack will not end. Before Lord Ryan orders a counterattack, we will help you protect your territory and prevent Warthog Orcs from destroying your wealth."
Baron Moore was a little angry, but after hearing the words Warthog Orcs, he calmed down. He waved his hand and ordered the slaves to take away the food, but then his expression became a little difficult.
"There is not much food for you in my territory. I gave it to the kingdom twice, one to the Church's army, and not long ago I gave you another batch to Legion of Light Judgment. Now the food in the territory is not enough."
"This is not something we should consider."
Colin said righteously that he was born in Aixnier and has been following Lord Ryan for two years.
"Lord Ryan said that if we cannot get enough food reserves, we need to retreat back to the legion to accept the food distribution from the legion."
It's a miraculous phenomenon. Baron Moore can produce exquisite pastries, bread and drinks that hundreds of people have squandered, but cannot produce a large amount of food that ordinary civilians can eat.
"We will wait for your food shipment, but the dry food we carry only allows us to eat for three days, so we need to consider whether to retreat after two days."
Colin looked at Baron Moore, and Baron's face became gloomy, but in the end he had to say:
"I will give you enough food, but you must guard my territory. If my orchards are plundered in any way, I will accuse you of your evil deeds to Prince Adams!"
Colin didn't say anything anymore. He didn't think Baron Moore could do anything to Baron Ryan, let alone what his accusation would make Baron Ryan do to them.
Among the military camps, this place is obviously much better than Legion of Light Judgment's camp in Baron Turner's territory, and Baron is also arranging slaves to cut down trees for urgent repairs.
"According to what Knight Commander Wellen said, Warthog Orcs almost always appeared here from the territory of Viscount Harry in the northeast. That place has been completely occupied. It is said that the viscount has escaped."
"What we need to defend most is this direction. The mountain we fought on is the best position. We can attack Orcs from a high place and eliminate the influence of their tall bodies. This Wellen is not a brainless knight. He is quite smart and defended until our arrival."
"But the location of this mountain is not at the edge of the Baron territory. There are some farmland outside and a several hundred acres of flax field."
"Warthog Orcs doesn't have much interest in flax, but it also caused massive destruction. My idea is that before the next Warthog Orcs arrives, we need to find a suitable defensive position on the edge of Baron's territory or even outside."
"We can't really all stand on the mountain waiting for Warthog Orcs to attack. This will not help our performance in front of Lord Ryan."
After Colin finished speaking, he looked at Quinn with burning eyes. Of course he was ambitious, and as Knight Retainer, he also understood Lord Ryan What will be the reward? It is a blessing that can make him stronger. What's more, if he performs this perfectly, he will have Frozen Earth Territory's status second only to Brandt and several other adults.
Human desires drive their actions. Colin definitely wants to do more than simply defend Baron Moore's territory. He wants to fight for a future.
Quinn next to him couldn't understand. He instinctively relied on Colin's decision-making. This was also his flaw. After all, as a civilian, after being transferred to become a soldier, his knowledge and understanding were still in the ignorant and confused state of a civilian.
In short, you can only respond to other people's actions and have no ideas of your own.
"It's all up to you."
On the next day, food that could feed two hundred people for half a month was delivered to the military camp. At the same time, Colin also took a group of soldiers to the edge of Baron's territory to select a suitable position.
"This is it."
Riding on Northern Warhorse, Colin pointed to the woods ahead. There was a gravel field outside the woods, which should be the remains left after the stream dried up and changed its course.
"Warthog Orcs are tall and their swinging movements are larger. Trees can very well limit their combat effectiveness."
Two hundred people quickly came to the woods with the supplies they obtained from Baron Moore to build a defensive front.
Among these two hundred-man troops, Bronze Knight only has one Colin, and there are three Formal Knight and twenty-six Apprentice Knight. They come from the aristocracy of Northwind Province, and even the centurion Quinn is just an ordinary person.
A simple defense line is not troublesome. All they have to do is use the terrain to block Warthog Orcs's attack, and then use the terrain advantages of the woods to fight against Warthog Orcs.
And Warthog Orcs arrived faster than expected. In the afternoon of that day, perhaps out of fear of the gaze of Great Being among Twilight, Warthog Orcs, who was out of sight of Hernan, took the initiative to attack the noble territory outside the fan.
"Orcs appears!"
The scout's discovery made the troops in the forest position become nervous. When Colin rushed out of the woods, Orcs had not noticed that there was suddenly a human army here.
He took out the Beast Bow on the horseback, which is one of the standard equipment for the Stag Legion soldiers, including warhorse armor and weapons. The weapons include long spears, swords, daggers and Beast Bow. It can be said that it is too gorgeous. The three Formal Knight next to him are envious because of these.
He bent the bow and drew the arrow, and the sharp arrow flew across the sky 180 meters away, piercing Warthog Orcs's chest. The huge force made Orcs stagger until he collapsed with blood pouring from his chest and back. Next, when the second sharp arrow arrived and hit the second Orcs, the other Warthog Orcs reacted and looked violently in the direction of Colin.
"Damn humans!!!"
Warthog Orcs roared and rushed directly in the direction of Colin.
Facing the stench that hit his face, Colin kept bending his bow and drawing the arrow with a calm expression. After Bronze Knight's strong power made the arrow shoot out, Warthog Orcs fell down.
It wasn't until Orcs was only forty meters away that he turned his horse's head and returned to the woods with several other knights.
Orcs didn't have any brains. He didn't even think about traps or anything like that. He just screamed and charged towards the woods.
The moment his strong body touched the vines, the trees on both sides shook violently. However, under the strong inertia, Warthog Orcs was still tripped and fell towards the ground in front of him.
By coincidence, a few stones stood there. In an instant, Warthog Orcs's face was bleeding, and one eye was directly broken. The severe pain made him howl, but soon, the spears of the human soldiers who rushed out amidst the shouts of death put an end to all the screams behind him.
"Kill!"
As expected, the compact and dense environment of the woods prevented the tall Warthog Orcs from fully utilizing its advantages of opening and closing. He was constantly stabbed by spears from all directions. More and more Warthog Orcs fell. This small-scale war began to tilt towards the side of the human army.
"You damn humans!"
A Warthog Orcs screamed, gave up its weapon and rushed towards a soldier. Its sharp teeth bit directly into the soldier's head. The terrifying bite force crushed the soldier's head before the surrounding spears arrived.
Because of the blood rage, he kept swinging his arms, tearing off a huge piece of bark from the tree trunk, and also knocked away several soldiers around him.
"Kill!"
A soldier found an opportunity in the face of luck and stabbed the spear in his hand directly into Orcs's chest. Looking at Orcs who slowed down, the soldier opened his eyes wide and was extremely excited.
"I killed him, I killed him!"
However...
In the pool of blood, Warthog Orcs's eyes turned violently red. He slowly stood up. Under the Twilight sky, his body was burning with gray flames, and then a layer of bone grew on the surface of his body. At the same time, a bone blade pierced the flesh and blood from his arm, growing out in pain.
The knife moved upwards and penetrated the human soldier's head. His height allowed him to lift it up to the position of the human head. In the moment of red and white splashing, the soldier's excited smile just now still remained on his face.
"Roar!"
A beast-like roar made Warthog Orcs go crazy in blood. Colin had quickly arrived here, but it still failed to stop this Warthog Orc Warrior from killing the three soldiers who were stunned in place.
The moment Knight's Greatsword collided with the bone blade, Colin's face turned pale.
"How can it be so powerful?"
When he retreated, Orc Warrior had already swung the bone blade down again, and his speed was nearly twice as fast as the previous normal Orcs state.
As a last resort, Colin could only bend his legs slightly and hold the sword in both hands to block.
However, Warthog Orcs did not only have one arm with his hands, the other thick arm made a fist and hit Colin's head. The huge power and speed made Colin unable to dodge and was blown away. From the gaps in the armor, there was bright red blood flowing out.
The surrounding soldiers gathered around. Their number was four times that of Orcs. With the help of several Formal Knight, they finally blocked this Orc Warrior.
"Look, look at them."
A Apprentice Knight opened his eyes wide and pointed at other Warthog Orcs not far away. He saw that half of the Orcs were all burning with flames under this Twilight. Gray bones grew out and covered the surface of their bodies. Sharp bone blades replaced the rough weapons in their hands.
The power of one Orc Warrior is no match for even Colin, and now there are twenty more...
The emotion of fear permeated the battlefield in the woods. They had never experienced such a scene during the Northwind Province war.
"What now?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and Colin behind him had already gotten up. The strong Blood-and-Qi Force brought to him by Deer Spirit Blessing allowed him to withstand the Orcs punch that hit his head.
"Ah!!!"
Colin roared, and the bloody energy and blood in his body raged, forming a hazy stag on the surface of his body. He roared, blood filled his eyes, turning the world in front of him bloody, and charged straight towards Orc Warrior.
This time he no longer underestimated the enemy, Agile Steps moved forward with his feet. As a human knight, his strength was not comparable to Orc Warrior, but what the knight was good at was forming a long six-sided route without any flaws in all aspects.
Heroic Spirit's Spear Knight Combat Technique blessed the long sword, and the weak light flashed away. The moment Colin avoided Orc Warrior's attack, he also slashed the long sword on Orc Warrior's waist.
The bone armor shattered instantly, flesh, flesh and bones broke at the same time. Knight's Greatsword was stuck in Orcs's muscles and bones. Orcs was in severe pain and smashed his arms wildly. He could not fully adapt to the extraordinary fighting state at this moment.
"Come on!"
Colin let go of Knight's Greatsword and kept dodging, so that less than ten of Orc Warrior's attacks fell on him. Although every time he was hit, it was like being hit by a heavy hammer, but the majestic knight Blood-and-Qi Force allowed him to persevere.
boom!
A punch hit Orc Warrior's waist, and the tall Orc Warrior fell down. Colin withdrew his Knight's Greatsword and chopped off Orc Warrior's head.
Just as the head fell off, other Orc Warrior had already rushed over. They evolved in Twilight and broke through the defense line of human soldiers. If the previous Warthog Orcs could only deal with one or two human soldiers, now, they can defeat four or five soldiers each.
The bone armor on their bodies allows them to avoid most attacks.
Colin alone looked at the dozen or twenty Orc Warriors in front of him and felt his scalp numb. He would definitely not be the opponent of so many Orc Warriors.
"Withdraw..."
Before he could say anything, Quinn next to him yelled.
"No retreat, absolutely no retreat, we can't outrun them! The woods are blocking our retreat."
Indeed, before they relied on the advantages of the woods to deal with Warthog Orcs, but now, the trees and the potholes under their feet will also become obstacles that prevent the human soldiers from speeding up when they retreat.
And Orcs is even faster than them.
Colin There is still a war horse waiting in the distance, which is fine for him, but most of the two hundred soldiers will probably have to be here.
"They are not invincible!"
Quinn's voice echoed, and he raised the long sword in his hand.
"As a centurion, I command you, attack! Attack!"
"Only by killing them will we survive!"
"For the glory of the empire! For the glory of God of Light!"
Quinn's voice roared in the woods, then he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Orc Warrior first.
"Damn guy!"
Colin cursed angrily, then raised his sword and roared.
"For the glory of the empire! For the glory of Lord Ryan! Attack, no one is allowed to retreat!"
"Kill!"
The knights rushed to the front, and the soldiers behind them were no longer so afraid. Moreover, in front of the military order, they had to grit their teeth and hold their weapons to kill Orc Warrior.
Quinn was able to stand out in each battle, relying not only on luck, but also on his own grasp of war opportunities. Apart from his sensitivity, his weak body was difficult to be Orc Warrior's opponent in any aspect, but when faced with Orc Warrior's bone blade slashes, he could successfully dodge every time.
"Human, die!"
Orc Warrior failed to attack successfully many times, and became even more irritable, slashing at Quinn regardless.
Just at the critical moment when the knife fell towards Quinn, who seemed to be unable to avoid it anymore, Quinn knelt down at a speed that was dizzying. It seemed that he had trained thousands of times to kneel down so smoothly.
But it was precisely because of this kneeling that the thick tree trunk leaning on his back was exposed. The bone blade was stuck in it and stopped three inches above Quinn's head. Quinn also took the opportunity at this moment to poke out the spear in his hand.
As a centurion, he should have armor and Knight's Greatsword, but he was of no use because the armor was too heavy and he couldn't afford it without training, and the Knight's Greatsword was also too heavy, so it was not easy for him to use a spear.
"What are you doing standing still! Kill him!"
Quinn rolled away from the side, watching the furious Orc Warrior frantically trying to withdraw his bone blade. Fortunately, at this time, the soldiers finally kept thrusting spears at Orc Warrior.
As the first Orc Warrior fell in front of ordinary soldiers, the other soldiers finally stopped panicking and launched an attack on Orcs under the stimulation of the war.
The knights played a huge role in this. They were able to block the power of Orc Warrior, but what was more important was the human sea tactics. Two hundred soldiers attacked frantically, and even Orc Warrior kept falling in a pool of blood.
